Ice and Fire
Photographer Jason Hawkes, a frequent contributor to the Big
Picture blog, returns today, sharing with us some of his latest images of
American cities seen from above at night - New York City and Las Vegas, both
cities that undergo significant transformations after the sun goes down. From
Hawkes: "The images of New York were shot on Nikons latest camera, the
D3S, using three gyro stabilizing mounts and flown using twin star helicopters.
(Eurocopter AS355). We flew from heights of just over 500 ft up to 2,500-ft
with no doors on, it was very very cold. The images of Las Vegas were shot for
a separate project, using a range of helicopters from a Robinson 44 to
Eurocopter AS355". Be sure to see Hawkes' earlier entries here (1, 2, 3),
and check out his newly-released book "London at Night". A book of
his New York at night photos is due for publication in the Autumn.
